I have an ordinary plastic house waste basket lined with a plastic bag.  I 
empty it into the house garbage the same way you do so that a) it goes out 
with the household garbage and doesn't cost extra for business pick up (I 
live alone, so I'm still under the three bag limit each week) b) sensitive 
office information that I wouldn't want anyone outside to be able to read is 
rendered unreadable by kitchen scraps c) any paper that can be re-used is 
re-used right here - by the time it hits the garbage, it's  *finished*
